To be clear, I’m only not watching it as I’ll be in work and it won’t be possible.

At the end, when one of the teams have won, do the audience sing “He’s got the world cup, in his hands! He’s got the whole world cup, in his hands!” etc.?

Oh wait, Super Ally you say?! In that case I’ll only be watching the World Cup in its entirety on ITV! :grinning:

Best World Cup game of all time for me. Had turned 18 a couple weeks before and had been away in the interim so it doubled as my birthday party. I drank so many double vodka and cokes at The Swan in Mansfield

Not going to watch todays match.
Terrible timing, but I’m going to Ireland today to spend time with people who don’t even know that there is a football tournament on.

Enjoy the match…I hope all the dings are humming.

Other - I’m recording it all to try and avoid result and watch it when I get home

Worth a punt I’d say. They gave Germany a test in that friendly the other day. They play with a high press and are meant to be quite a useful side.

IRELAND!

Giving the Inequality Derby/Battle of the Bastards a miss tonight. Pumped for tomorrow though. WORLD CUP
